Been driving stick for 12 years. Every car I've owned has all been manual. My gf has an automatic and I drive both equally. Once you drive manual for awhile, you don't think your driving a manual or auto anymore, it's becomes a natural reaction to step on the clutch when your suppose to. I picked it up driving around my block once when I got my first crx. It's not as hard as it looks. Just practice going from stop, learn to ride the clutch, first gear then second gear. Rinse and repeat. its basically impossible to fail going into the higher gears.
